> AI can't know anything (right now).

Only for very specific (and IMO useless) definitions of the word "know". Does it matter if the thing a submarine does is called "swimming" or not?

In any practical sense, even obsolete ancestors of this model definitely "know" more French than I learned in 5 years of mandatory school lessons.

That said, regardless of the definition of the word "know"…

I don't know what you're talking about here.

The soviet bloc countries were very proud of their schooling system, rightly or wrongly; and conversely corporations don't really get much out of primary education, which is often described as being essentially no better than daycare for slightly older kids.
